About this map

The Kaniksu National Forest dominates this landscape along the Washington-Idaho border, where a complex network of forestry roads and watercourses defines the timbered terrain. The drainage systems of the Upper West Branch Priest River and Goose Creek carve through the high country, marked by prominent elevations such as Galena Point and Pelke Divide.

Lower-lying areas like Big Meadows and Squaw Valley provide clearings amidst the dense forest, while the numerous small tributaries, including Solo Creek, Consalus Creek, and Blickensderfer Creek, illustrate the intricate hydrology of the Selkirk Mountains region. This 2017 survey shows a modern administrative landscape shaped by National Forest Development Roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 1089 and Nat For Dev Rd 1137, which facilitate access to remote points like Goose Creek Point and Tola Point.
